What three texts did Abraham Lincoln study in preparation of his first inaugural address?

Abraham Lincoln studied three texts to help himself prepare his first inaugural address. One was US President Andrew Jackson's proclamation against Nullification, and the speeches of perhaps the two greatest Whig party leaders, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. With that said, it was well known that Clay had been a political hero for Lincoln in his early days and both Lincoln and Clay supported the American Colonization Society. Lincoln had been a junior Whig and he delivered Clay's eulogy in Kentucky, where Lincoln was born. Clay was a slave owner and he and Lincoln often spoke about how the problem of slavery could be solved. They had no solution at the time. It may also be noted that the particular speech of Clay's that Lincoln studied was the one Clay had given concerning the 1850 Missouri Compromise.
